Notes

Recipe Tips:

  • Swap out the shredded chicken for ground beef, shredded pork, or ground turkey, You could omit the meat altogether for a delicious veggie recipe.
  • No black beans in your pantry? No problem! Use pinto beans, kidney beans, any kind you like! Or try a combination of all three! You really cannot go wrong with this soup.
  • Any kind of canned tomatoes will work. If you have a can of Rotel, use it! Stewed Italian tomatoes work well too. Don’t be afraid to experiment.
  • Toppings are my favorite for this soup! We always have lots of shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream to cool it off, but you could add diced tomatoes, green onions, sliced avocado, tortilla chips, or a big dollop of our Best Guacamole Ever.
